February 13, 2013Bench for repsIncline benchbarx10, 95x10, 135x8, 155x8. Could have gone heavier, but felt solid on the bench.95x18, 95x16 ( I went at a busy time, no room by the dumbbells, went back to the barbell instead)

Legs felt really strong today, and I ended up with a double with 315 on my back. Came up fairly quickly, Should have hit a triple but didn't have a spotter. Worth a shot next heavy squat day.

Its been one of those months where I haven't noticed a lot of physical changes, but I've had some really good days. Hitting that double today coupled with a 475 pull off 45 plates are keeping me in good spirits. One more week on the cube then a mock meet to test my maxes.

I have a reading break next week so I'll be taking that fully off from the gym and coming back hard.Heavy squat musicSounds like rage against the machine

Thanks Rossco. I'm still on the cube, just finishing up my last cycle this week and Sunday I'll be testing my maxes. Its definitely given me a lot of gains, from what I can tell at least. Its a great method, and the routine is solid as hell. I'm thinking about branching to a different routine next week, mostly ed coan's deadlift, squat and bench. There are a few routines I've been looking into. I just want to see how my body reacts to the different routines out there I guess. I don't want to limit myself to just trying the 5/3/1 and cube.

You don't fuck around in the hole."It felt good, Legs felt sturdy, and I'm happy with a 10 pound PB in 2 weeks. 405 is just getting closer and closer.OLY225x5x5Called her quits and did a bunch of ab work to prep for the mock meet tomorrow. Bench and dead max attempts should be fun. Hoping to put up some good numbers.
